Color Melting
Color melting is a process to soften the contrast between a darker root and lighter ends. This process is excellent to use with foils or to add subtle changes to a single process. This technique melts the colors together seamlessly, blending one to the other so you can’t tell where one starts and the other ends. Color melts create a more natural, lived-in look, making this a low-maintenance process. Most clients can go 6-12 weeks in between appointments with proper at-home care.

Color melting is a hair coloring technique that combines multiple shades of hair dye to create a seamless, gradient effect. It involves applying different shades of dye to different sections of the hair, usually with a darker shade at the roots and a lighter shade at the ends, and then using a brush or comb to blend the colors together. The result is a natural-looking, multi-dimensional color that adds depth and dimension to the hair. Color melting is a popular choice for people looking to add dimension to their hair without committing to a full head of highlights or a solid block of color.
What Is The Difference Between Color Melting, Balayage, and Ombre?
Color melting, balayage, and ombre are all hair coloring techniques that involve gradients of color, but they differ in the way the color is applied and the end result.
Color Melting
Color melting, as we just mentioned, involves blending multiple shades of hair dye together to create a seamless gradient effect.
Balayage
Balayage is a hair coloring technique in which the dye is painted onto the hair rather than being applied with a foil. The result is a more natural, sun-kissed look with softer, less noticeable regrowth lines.
Ombre
Ombre involves gradually blending one color into another, usually with a darker shade at the roots and a lighter shade at the ends. The effect is more noticeable and defined than with color melting or balayage, with a clear line of distinction between the two colors.
How Long Does Color Melting Take?
The length of time it takes to complete a color melting service will depend on several factors, including the length and thickness of your hair and the complexity of the color design. Our skilled stylists can, on average, do color melting in 2 to 4 hours, but it can take longer if your hair is particularly long or thick or if you are combining color melting with other hair services, such as a haircut.
It’s also important to factor in additional time for the hair to process, as the dye needs to sit on the hair for a certain amount of time to fully develop. This can add an additional 30 minutes to an hour to the service time.
